J: Rossa Ryan

T: Ralph Beckett

She made giant strides in quick time in the spring, winning 2m handicaps at Lingfield (twice) and Doncaster; disappointed at Haydock in May and again after five months off at Newmarket (1m4f, heavy); could resume her progress back on AW but she does now have a point to prove.

J: Hector Crouch

T: Ralph Beckett

All of her five handicaps have been over longer trips; won two in a row this spring at Lingfield (2m, AW) and completed the hat-trick on turf debut at Doncaster (2m, soft; four ran); disappointing on good to firm in May and her chance is presumably boosted by a return to testing ground on this first run since; interesting to see her market strength, as she's one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Readily justified favouritism in C&D contest last Saturday, proving well suited by the first attempt beyond 1m4f on the Flat (winning hurdler at 2m1f/2m2f); leading player under a penalty (future mark 2lb higher).

J: Rob Hornby

T: David Pipe

Veteran who hasn't won since 2023 but he's been in fair form on AW this spring including when fourth on Polytrack (2m) in his last two starts; should be in the mix again but he needs to find more to make a big impact; cheekpieces are removed and blinkers return.

Veteran who hasn't won since 2023; expensive to follow in recent times but he arrives in form and this is a touch easier again off a career-low mark; can't be left out of calculations.

Losing run dates back to July 2023; conditions are no problem for this veteran and he has been running respectably of late; others appeal more all the same.

Form & Verdict
Successful six times on AW, most recently off this mark over C&D in early January; respected on that success but needs some improvement on the balance of his subsequent form; his rivals are much less exposed.

Form & Verdict
Has form figures of 314 (all at Kempton) since handicapping and upped to 2m, the win gained narrowly; only fourth when a short-priced favourite last time but may still have more to offer; remains of interest.

All five wins have been over 2m on AW; couldn't pose a threat at Lingfield last month but the drop back to 1m5f looked against him and he went very close on his Wolverhampton reappearance in March; still looks feasibly treated on that form and has possibilities back at his optimum trip.
